Holy mole: craft beer to be available at Chipotle

Fifteen Chicago Chiptole restaurants are adding an unlikely item to their menus in the next week: local craft beer.

The beer will be from Chicago's 5 Rabbit brewery, sitting on Chipotle racks alongside more predictable offerings like Pacifico, Dos XX, Corona and Miller Lite.

Since launching in the summer of 2011, 5 Rabbit has positioned itself as the nation's first Latin-themed craft brewery. The beer has been widely accepted in craft beer circles, but in Chipotle, will aim for a decidedly more mainstream audience. Other Chipotles across the country have sold craft beer, but this is a first for the Chicago area.

The beers available will be 5 Rabbit, a simple golden ale reminiscent of Corona, and 5 Vulture, a dark ale more similar to Negra Modelo, brewed with chiles and spices. If sales are brisk, the brewery could add more 5 Rabbit labels to Chipotle coolers and expand the brand's reach to Chipotles throughout Chicagoland.
